Soul of Lisbon

Drink a cocktail that takes you back in time, slip into a pocket-sized bookstore, unlock the secrets of bacalhau, run with the clouds, make a stopover in the tropics, track down the restaurant whose address we won’t tell you, clink glasses with an old-timer, awaken your inner ceramics-maker, scuffle with a spider crab, infiltrate the secret hide-away of the city’s fado singers, bite into an elephant-ear cookie made to linger in your memory forever … Soul of Lisbon is written by Lauriane Gepner, journalist and traveler, and Fany Péchiodat, founder of My Little Paris, the influential newsletter-cum-lifestyle brand. The ‘Soul of’ collection is a new approach to the art of traveling that’s all about vagabonding around town, chance encounters, and unforgettable experiences. Guides for those who want to unlock the hidden doors of a city, feel out its heartbeat, plumb every last nook and cranny to uncover its soul. Created by Fany Péchiodat in collaboration with the publisher Thomas Jonglez, the collection will continue to expand with new cities in 2019 and 2020: Los Angeles, Bali, Rome … “To begin with, you appeared to me lying on the Tagus like a city that has set sail … ” - José Cardoso Pires, “Lisbonne. Livre de bord” (“Lisbon. Log Book”) Every guide in the ‘Soul of’ collection includes: - the 30 best experiences a city has to offer - interviews with those who give the city its spirit - illustrations that capture the city’s soul
